Monday's Closing Quotations

New York, Mar. 20.

The stock market today remained under the influence of the international political situation, although sentiment showed a moderate improvement. Prices opened firm after the recent sharp declines but quiet irregularity developed later and the market sagged for the remainder of the session, closing with net losses ranging from minor fractions to about one dollar. The action of the market in the face of the continued Europ-can uncertainty was considered encouraging, with the selling less urgent than recently, but it was pointed out that the price trend would remain largely dependent upon reports from abroad. The turnover totalled 950,000 shares.—Reuter.
